The new Peugeot 408 is equipped with a transmission from the Japanese Aisin brand. Whether paired with the "1.6THP turbocharged direct injection engine" or the "1.8L CVVT technology engine," the automatic transmission models of the new-generation 408 are matched with the "third-generation 6-speed automatic transmission." More details are as follows: 1. Undoubtedly, the performance of Peugeot's "third-generation 6-speed automatic transmission" is excellent, offering four intelligent mode options: economy, power, snow, and manual, meeting driving needs under different road conditions. It balances power and smoothness, handling and fuel efficiency under various road and driving conditions. The wide gear ratio range of the transmission allows the engine to select the most suitable gear for operation under any working condition, significantly improving fuel economy. 2. At the same time, the design of the "third-generation 6-speed automatic transmission" also reflects high intelligence, achieving optimal gear selection and control based on the driver's operation and the vehicle's status, such as hill logic control and curve gear retention control, making the driving process comfortable, convenient, and safe, enhancing driving pleasure. It also ensures smooth and agile gear shifts, achieving a perfect combination of driving power and rapid response, with outstanding performance in energy saving, smoothness, quietness, and other aspects.

The new Peugeot 408 mostly comes with an automatic transmission, specifically the Aisin 8-speed automatic gearbox. This thing is quite advanced—I've driven it and found the gear shifts incredibly smooth, with no jerking even in city traffic jams. On the highway, the acceleration response is quick. It uses an intelligent control system that automatically adjusts gears based on throttle input and road conditions, making it fuel-efficient and easy to drive. As someone who frequently follows automotive trends, I think this setup offers high value for money in the entry-level segment, and maintenance is relatively simple—just a transmission fluid change every 50,000 kilometers or so. However, pay attention to driving habits—avoid stomping on the accelerator to extend the transmission's lifespan. Overall, it delivers a comfortable and efficient driving experience, making it ideal for beginners or family users.
